Default Engine Color HELP

Does anyone know for sure what color an Electra Glide Standard's Engine is? I'm trying to match the color of a 06 Standard's Silver Engine. I was turned on to a site that has Powder to match HD parts but it doesnt look the same in the picture they give. Its called Warlock Grey. Does that sound right to anyone?

http://powder365.com/store/index.php...roducts_id=425

This is the URL of the place that says they match HD colors

Try Raw Aluminum color.
There's no powdercoat on those.

What parts are you trying to powder coat? As stated above the standard engine has nothing done to it, it is just the raw aluminum as cast, the stock covers are just lightly polished.

I want to powder cost the aluminum parts to match the color of the engine. I dont want to powder coat them black or polish the aluminum anymore. I want the Chrome and aluminum parts to be the same color as the silver engine. I dont know how I can be any clearer.

How do you know this? The reason that the standards are cheaper is that MOCO eliminates the process of coating the engine.
